(STATS) -- A change in head coaches hasnt tempered the high expectations surrounding Alcorn State, the two-time defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champion.Alcorn State and Prairie View A&M were selected as the East and West division favorites, respectively, in the SWACs preseason poll announced during Fridays media day in Birmingham, Alabama.Alcorn State (9-4, 7-2 SWAC) lost to North Carolina A&T in the inaugural Celebration Bowl last December after beating Grambling State 49-21 in the SWAC championship game. Jay Hopson, the first white head football coach in the conferences illustrious history, resigned to become Southern Mississippis head coach during the offseason, and Fred McNair, the brother of late Pro Bowl quarterback Steve McNair, was elevated from offensive coordinator. It is the 47-year-old McNairs first head coaching job.The biggest thing is, those guys want to get back (to the championship game), McNair said. Thats what we tell them every week -- we talk to them in general about what its going to take to get back. If they come out, dedicate themselves to it and hard work, anything possible. Thats what were striving for, thats our goal.While Alcorn State lost some decorated seniors from last years team, there is plenty of returning talent, including junior quarterback Lenorris Footman, who took over for an injured John Gibbs Jr. last season and surpassed 1,000 yards in both passing and rushing while accounting for 25 total touchdowns. He was a second-team All-SWAC preseason selection -- one of the Braves conference-high 11 overall picks.I played behind John Gibbs Jr. and he helped me become a better quarterback, Footman said. I learned a lot of things from him, and now that Im in the lead position, I just try to become a better leader and a better quarterback.Five Alcorn players -- offensive lineman Detonio Dade, defensive linemen Stacey Garner and Mike Brooks, linebacker Darien Anderson and punter Haiden McCraney -- made the SWAC preseason first team.Prairie View (8-2, 8-1), which last won the SWAC title in 2009, was installed as the preseason choice in the West over Grambling.Were not a team thats big on accolades, were not a team thats big on preseason hype -- things of that nature, said Prairie View second-year coach Willie Simmons, who was the offensive coordinator of Alcorns 2014 championship squad.We try to be a team that says, Hey, whoever needs to step up, step up. But we all have a job to do.Southern senior running back Lenard Tillery was named the SWACs preseason offensive player of the year and was one of the Jaguars seven representatives on the All-SWAC first team. As a junior, Tillery led the conference with 1,211 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns.Alabama State senior linebacker Kourtney Berry, the conferences defensive player of the year last season, was the preseason choice for this years award. He enters his final season with 363 career tackles, having led the conference in 2013 and 15 and finishing second in 2014.---=SWAC FOOTBALL PRESEASON POLL=Vote of Coaches and Sports Information DirectorsEast Division1.

ROME -- Romas planned new stadium would deliver nearly 20 billion euros ($21.7 billion) in additional revenues to the Italian capital over the next decade, according to a university study on the severely delayed project.The privately financed 1.6 billion euro ($1.7 billion) project would also increase Romes gross domestic product by 18.5 billion euros ($20 billion) by 2026, according to research by Romes Sapienza University.This is one of the most ambitious urban regeneration works that Rome and Italy has ever seen, Giuseppe Ciccarone, Sapienzas dean of economics, said Monday.However, the start of construction has been delayed for years with approval for the Serie A stadium, training center and surrounding business and entertainment park slowed at municipal and regional levels.James Pallotta, Romas American president, first presented the stadium plan in March 2014, saying then that it would be ready for the 2016-17 season.The stadium site in Tor di Valle is about halfway between downtown and the Leonardo Da Vinci airport..dddddddddddd.With a design inspired by the Colosseum, the stadium is slated to seat 52,500 and be expandable to 60,000 for major matches.Roma currently shares the 72,000-seat Stadio Olimpico with city rival Lazio.The 125-hectare (300-acre) area for the new stadium will also include a training ground for Roma, three high-rise office towers, plus parks and commercial and entertainment areas.The study also said that the stadium project would reduce the average unemployment rate in Rome by nearly one full percentage point, with about 1,500 workers employed during the construction phase and a further 4,000 as parts of the project become operational.Once fully operational, up to 20,000 people will be employed across the stadium and business park.The new stadium had been included in Romes bid for the 2024 Olympics but the candidacy was rejected in September by Mayor Virginia Raggi over cost concerns.
